I will repeat this until it is 8am, at which point I will fail to have a shower (no time), I will rush down some breakfast (assuming I have any milk in the fridge), and I will rush out of the house to work.  I will feel horrible all day from not having gone through any sort of morning routine, and I will be annoyed with myself for once again failing to do that Bible study.<\/p>\n<p>If I had gone to bed a few hours ago, after watching that TV program which finished at 10:30, then I probably wouldn&#8217;t have a problem with the morning.  What actually happens is that I put another TV program on and keep watching until 1am, or sometimes even later.  I will get 6 hours sleep instead of a more sensible amount, and I will make some excuse in the morning and pretend that I&#8217;ll do it all properly tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not like there&#8217;s even anyone else in the house at the moment to keep tabs on me, so there really isn&#8217;t much incentive to change.
